Changing a skin

[Cruncher]

Ok i need help here

What i wanna do ist put the Ogre Magi skin onto a Stonemaul Ogre so its a one-headed magi.

But i have no idea how

Just import the Ogre Magi skin with the custom pathing of where the stonemaul ogre pathing is.

Sorry I dont have WE right now and I cant find the paths, itd help if you specify them for me.

I think he wants to make the Ogre Magi look like a 1 headed Stonemaul Ogre? (or vice versa)

Just change the unit's model from Ogre Magi to Stonemaul Ogre. (You know where right? under the ability, unit color stuff...)

I tryed importing the skin but when i imported the ogre magi and then put in the stonemaul skin it changed the name and file to stonemaul

Okay heres the thing, if you do it purely with skinning you can make an alpha channel on the skin so that it would appear as one head.

BUT the head will not be centered as the model has two heads that are off-centered.
If you would like to have it as one model, you will need to edit the model by removing either of the heads and then centering it.

This is very easy but its a filesize killer, unless its not a bnet game. So which way do you want to go with? I can do either way. Want me to edit the skin, or want me to edit the model as well as changing the skin path so that itd be one-headed with the proper skin.

wtf you dont need to do that at all just make a model and change stonemaul ogre texture to stonmeaul magi

Oh oops, sorry about that. I was only looking in the war3.mpq and not the war3x.mpq which is why I didnt find the OneHeaded version.

Anyways here it is, just import it and youre good to go!
